The Sonography program prepares the student for entry-level positions in the field with specialization in general sonography, vascular technology, or cardiac sonography. Upon completion of the program, you will be eligible to take the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) certifying examination. You may choose between the associate of applied science degree option or the certificate of completion option.

You must complete a qualifying degree (two-year healthcare degree, or a four-year degree in any field), as well as RTE 255 and DMS 101 prior to applying. When enrolled in the clinical internship courses, students spend 30 to 34 hours per week at a healthcare facility. Students can expect to rotate through a variety of shifts on weekdays and weekend, during the day, at night, or overnight.

Admission to the Sonography Program is through a competitive selection process. Applications are accepted once a year in May. Please visit the Medical Imaging Web site www.rrcc.edu/dms or contact an academic advisor 303.914.6034 for more information on the application process.
